2014 will feature an equally exciting cast of local and international artistes, with a full stage of scintillating jazz fusion music, featuring Barbadian vocalist, Marisa Lindsay; UK-based jazz guitarist, Cameron Pierre; pan virtuoso, Ken “Professor” Philmore; Cuban saxophonist Emir Santa Cruz and his Espiral Trio; and Berklee College of Music graduate, vocalist, Nyol Manswell of T&T.
The show has been produced by the local team of Production One Ltd for the past 11 years, and is always on the lookout for emerging jazz talent throughout the Caribbean.
Completing the open-air festival, picnic ambiance will be a variety of culinary delights on sale; and a fully-stocked bar, along with exclusive event WiFi Internet access so that patrons can upload their experiences in real-time.
